    The thinking man doesn’t have commercial TV and definitely does not watch adverts.

    As an example mine just went in for its 90,000km service (which is a big one), $1,200 later. I think the service before that was $900. I’d be curious to know what others pay for other models as a comparison.
    Here's the servicing fees for all Toyotas and what gets done

    Can also save a bit by prepaying for services when you buy the vehicle.

    Mate of mine has run D Max for years. Until he retired recently he did a lot of DOC contracts and also hunting. He tows a big boat and works them hard but always services on time. A suggestion no matter what you get Thar, consider putting a catch can on the engine to prevent carbon build up in your EGR valve and inlet manifold. Good luck with your decision.

    I would suggest getting in and test driving the ones you are looking at, and making a decision from there.
    I just traded my 2015 Dmax in on a new one after 112k trouble free motoring, was even on the original battery.
